VOL. XXI. NO. LIZ.

IT'S said that in the olden time
A Christian empress came
To seek throughout the Holy Land
Until she found the same
The sacred cross, which once did bear
The body of our Lord,
And in an excavation there
She found three crosses stored.
Among the three, how could she tell
Which was the one she sought?
All then a wondrous thing befell,
By Christ's sweet presence wrought.
. A lifeless form was lying near,
Neglected, cold and dead;
No kindred hand to tend-no bier,
No pillow for its head!
The empress saw-and swift as light
A thought flashed thro' her brain;
The weekly sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1886-1887, 1887-03-31

>. e. AMIS.
She laid each cross in turn upon
The dead-and oh again
The voice of Jesus called the dead
To life! and bade the soul
That from its tenement had fled,
Return" and thus be wholep'
And SO it was that then she knew
By life and JOY and power,
The living cross-the only true,
That cen within an hour
Transforms the dead soul into life,
Gives mortals strength to bear,
With patient love, the one true cross,
For Christ himself is there!
And cen though crushed and worn beneath
The heavy cross you bear,
You can no life from it receive
If Jesus be not there!

How Bismarck Pushed His Point.
paris Figaro,t

An interesting and characteristic anec-
dote OF Bismarck's early career in
diplomacy is given. He was Prussian
Minister to the German Confederation
which sat at Frankfort. In the house In
which he lodged there was no bell, and he
Intimated to the proprietor the necessity
of establishing such means of communica-
ton. The proprietor refused, as 1t was
mot so nomin ated in the bond" or con.
tract. BY and by pistol shot was heard
in Bismarck's room. The afRrighted
proprietor hurried into the room to find
out what the disaster was. "Don' dis
turb YOURSELF" said Bismarck; "this is to
call my servant. As there is no bell will
henceforward employ this method Of sum-
moning him." The bell was supplied and
the shooting ceased.

HOW he DID IT.



Yankee Can Accomplish.
A story of close management is told
about Yankee who lately settled in
the West. lie was the picture of a
mean man. but as he put himself to
work in good earnest TO get his house
to rights, the neighbors helped him.
Afterhe had every thing fixed to his
satisfaction he thought that he must
have some chickens. lie was too hon
est to steal and too mean to bhy them
At last thought struck him-he could
borrow. He went to ncighbor and
thus accosted him:
"Wal, l reckon you hain't got no
old hen nor nothin you'd lend mo Tor
a few weeks, have you, neighbour
Il will lend you one with pleasure, y
replied the gentleman, picking ont the
very finest in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home and
then went to another neighhor and bor-
rowed dozen eggs. He then set the
hen and in due course of time she
Matched out dozen chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled; he
could return the hen. but how was he
to return the eggs? Another idea
and who ever saw n 1.-Two Yankee with
out one2--he would keep the hen
until she had laid a dozen eggs.
This he did, and then returned the
hen and eggs to their respective own
ers, remarEing as he did so:
"Wal. ! reckon Eve got as fine a
dozen of chickens rs you ever laid
your eyes on, and they didn't cost me

PROGRESSIVE DINNERS.
How to Entertain Your Friends Accord.
ing to the Latest Agony.


ing to the Latest Agony.
? Ladies with endless obligations of
hospitality to cancel are always yearn-
ing for some new form of entertain
ment to present to their guests. Pro-
gressive euchre parties. as mild recre-
alton, were in high favor last year; but
the gilt edge of novelty has worn off of
this species of entertainments, and
after many frantic efforts and dismal
failures, some brilliant genius has de-
vised the scheme of progressive
luncheon or dinner party. This is alb
solutely the latest thing, and promises
to be very popular among young peo-
pie. Considerable skill must be exer-
cised in selecting the guests, and lazy
people, above all, must be omitted. A
good-sized room is cleared of unneces-
sary furniture. and small tables leach
accommodating four people, are
placed along the room as for pro-
gressive euchre, or in horseshoe shape,
according to the size of the room. The
number of tables and courses must be
regulated by the number of guests.
We will suppose that forty young peO-
pie are to be invited, making twenty
couples. in which case ten tables will
be required and ten courses served.
Ten of the twenty ladies present are
chosen by the hostess to act as hostess
for each table, and they remain seated
in the same place during the entire
meal. When dinner or lunch Gas the
case may be) is announced, music is
played in an adjoining room, and
these ten ladies take their place at each
table and receive the other lady and
two gentlemen who are to sit with her
during the first course. BY this time
each guest understands what is expect
ed of them, and when the Blue Points
have disappeared and the plates re-
moved the head waiter rings gong
and the lady and two gentlemen at
each table rise and 60 to the next in
succession. leaving the hostess to en-
terrain the newcomers. The gong is
rung and music played after each
course during the progression from the
first to the tenth table, thus giving each
guest an opportunity to converse with
the other. A pile of small finger nap
kins are placed at each table and
the soiled ones removed with the
plates. or they can be carried from Ia
BILE to table by the user. FavOrs are
served with the last course, and with a
little taste in decorating the tables the
effect is charming. This progressive
meal has many advantages. First and
foremost, it is a whole evenings enter
tainment, and then it does away with
the usual conventionality and stiffness
of an ordinary dinner, and by the con-
slant change of partners introduces a
new element into conversation, so that
there is no excuse for any one getting
.'talked out"
The number of guests invited must
be divided into four. and the result will
give the number of tables and courses
to be served. but in thing of this
kind forty is good number. The
menu need not be SO elaborate or ex-
travagant but that every thing should
be daintily served by good walters, and
no confusion in changing the tables
